A decree by the President cannot defy the Constitution. A president that blatantly issues orders defying the constitution is a tyrant and has committed treason against his oath. At best he is incompetent, at worst he is a traitor and should be arrested for treason. If the other branches of gov't won't do it then the people have the duty as the final check and balance to tyranny.

The oath of president: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Why can't someone come out and say THIS IS A GOOD AND NEEDED THING???? Is it something in your genes that cause you to just disagree to disagree?? I know this has been said, but if Pres Obama brought about world peace, you people would ***** about him destroying the defense industry!!!

Notice this says "high-grade, military-style weapons" now. Not assault weapons since the guns they are referencing are not true military assault weapons. They are simply guns that "look mean" or look like weapons used in the military therefore they must be bad. For that matter many of the previously banned weapons were pieces of junk, poorly made, likely to jam and not very accurate.

"The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says 40 percent of gun sales are conducted with no criminal background check..."

This is a misleading statement. All new firearms purchases, from sporting good stores, firearms stores, gun shows or over the internet, etc, require background checks. Only private transfers of firearms from one owner to another, illegal sales by criminals or theft of a firearm can avoid the criminal background check.

Mayhaps they are trying to say that 40% of firearms transfers are private or illegal sales or simply thefts? How will they regulate those activities?
